Larkin's Lair's video:
• Kingdom Tracks Leg Fix...
Thanks for posting. It’s crappy that even with the “fix,” the fenders still won’t stay in place when in alt mode. I read of someone shaving down the tabs on the roof that clip into the front hood. It supposedly makes it feels less scary during the transformation to alt mode. I wonder if that would take off some of the pressure on the fenders and lead to a more flush appearance.
yeah, sad
i'm not sure... it could work...
If you do that the legs would not lock in at all and would flop around more. Don't do it.
This poor quality control is just inexcusable, Hasbro.
Facts
i know right?!
no its the FACT ppl keep buying the crap they put out. its the consumers fault for buying the crap. Hasbro wont stop putting this QC out till the fans boycott their products, which will never happen. its ALL the FANS faults for this qc not just hasbro

I agree. And every reviewer has multiple copies of each figure they own, and it's always hard to find the good ones in store. (Between scalpers and "collectors")
As I can't risk damaging my figure I'm probably gonna buy the leg locks anyways. But good video, and Larkin is an awesome RUclipsr too
thanks man, yeah probably a good decision... you might try it though once you get another one on clearance
Tracks: $24.99
Shipping: $8.00
Add-on kit to fix the legs: $18.99
Add-on kit with weapons: $15.99
Possible toyhax sheet: $10.00
Conclusion: better to invest into 3rd party MPs 😄
hahahahaha!
You could achive basically the same thing with a hammer and a thin metal rod of sorts that would act as a buffer between the pin and the hammer
yeah i thought of that, i just couldn't find a thin enough metal piece that was strong enough to be hammered onto the pin...
thanks for the tip though
@@chefatron Wouldn't a small screw driver work?
@@privateprivate31337 i'm not sure man, sorry
Put a tiny ball bearing on the back side of the rivet when you squeeze down on the joint. Hobby shops have them for adding to miniature paint to help when shaking.
oh i didn't even know those were a thing... thanks for the tip!
At first look of your video thumbnail I thought you'll gonna wreck the heck out of Road Rage's leg with that vice grip.. 😄✌️ nice info there..thanks for this! 😄👍
hahaha sorry man
no prob :-)
Very nice sir! Can i ask if you considered super glues or that Kiki , loose fix joints glue to fix ?
thanks bro
oh I'm not sure... I don't usually use super glue on these figures unless it's to repair broken pieces
Good video 👍
I worry your pliers are too strong. I used a flat pair and the same sorta cloth but double folded and from both sides so it's softer. That way the cloth molds to the pin and creates a more precise force with no plastic damage
thanks man, and thank you for the tip!
Thanks for sharing the remedy, actually I have exactly the same problem you have with the tracks in this video, but what i am doing is try to make the leg end (thigh end) tighter by adding contact glue over mushroom joint, because the leg end of mine is pretty loose as well, which is a common issue of this figure
no prob,
thanks for sharing that tip as well :-)
I don't think Hasbro is ignoring us but with Covid they can't do things is best as they can due to lack of staff and materials.
People suggesting a soldering iron, but wouldn’t that melt the plastic surrounding the pin?! Seems too much when a hammer and pin pusher is all u really need. Couple light taps
yeah, i thought of that, but with my luck, i'll probably just end up poking holes into the blue plastic with the soldering iron... i wasn't too good at it during shop class
I recent got mine yesterday, and the joints look flush on mine. My other fix: the usual nail polish to help stick the pegs better in place. Still be looking forward to get Pipes, Road Rage, and Galvatron in 2022. I hope my nearest store has them.
awesome! you got lucky with your copy of this figure 🙂
happy hunting man!
Literally the first thing I did with my Tracks when he arrived yesterday. Robot mode is pretty much solid, vehicle mode stays together well.
awesome! glad it went well
i think dipping it in freshly boiled water first is a good idea.
softens the plastic so you don't need as much force to push in the pin, and the plastic is less likely to crack.
when heated with boiled water you can also bend the panels inwards a little, reducing the gap in the side panels in vehicle mode.
cool bro, thanks for the tip!
Wouldn't it be better to use a nail or another pin and use a hammer to drive that pin deeper into the hole? This way there won't be any issue to potentially scratch or break it.
Lol, Mickey Mousing. Yeah I have a bunch of tools and way better methods. Like using the biggest Flathead on a tiny Philips . I guess Chef isn’t a customizer and must really like this garbage toy
I'm hoping to pick him up today!
Good luck on the hunt for him.
awesome! happy hunting man!
That's a good idea. Perhaps heat the pin with a soldering iron and push it in further?
nice! thanks for the tip !
I knew he had the loose legs on many copies. Found one at Ross for 9.99 and I got it. For that price it was hard to pass up. The legs on mine don't wobble. They are nice and tight. Atleast on my copy. The hood splitting gives me some trouble when transforming. And the lower corners of the forarms, the grey part there got a little scrape there on each one due to taking them out during transformation. That part also gives me some trouble getting them out. He is good. Not great or bad.
Use a blow dryer to heat the plastic up then use the Vice grips with cloth. This will limit you getting a crack when pushing in the pegs.
You murdered him! Lol nice fix
Pinoy pala si Larkin’s Lair! 😁
i think so bro
Use elastic band bands to pull panels tightly then steam figures until plastic is slightly pliable then dip in ice water so plastic become rodgid again.
awesome! thanks for the tip!
Epic video Chefatron!!!!! Thank you for showing how to fix Tracks's legs. :) Keep on being amazing.
thanks so much bro, as always :-) no prob ! just glad to help :-)
@@chefatron You're welcome. :D Glad to receive help. :D
Chef! I honestly don't know how to say this but can you help me find a legend class Barricade?
oh i haven't seen that one in a long time bro... the one from TLK ?
@@chefatron no bro, the one from 07 😅 shopee and ebay can't help me too. I guess I'd stick with the premium deluxe or the regular deluxe from 07. That's my dream Barricade figure since I was a kid. The first deluxe Barricade I owned was the one from DOTM. The Studio Series and the TLK didn't really appeal that much to me. Looking forward to have the MPM one soon.
@@dwightmiranda3192 oh wow that's a really old figure! good luck with that one bro
Just heat the rivet with a soldering iron and then use just about any thing to push it more.
cool, thanks for the tip!
Possibly finely sand down the peg on the driver’s side front window. Seeing that’s what is pushing the fender out.
yes perhaps
Mine don't have the problems as much since he was quite tight.
@Transformers Earth Wars Player you are not forgiven.
you're lucky bro!
I'd rather heat up the small peg it clips to and flatten it down bit more so it actually plugs in better.
The pliers are sketchy and risk snapping it off at the pin. Then your kinda fuct.
cool
For how much they charge for figures they should have better QC. The clear plastic also is a shame because they got to stop adding tabs to them.
couldn't agree more man! well said!
I did it on my Roadrage and it works. Be careful though.
awesome! glad it worked out for you. i had some scuffing and some stress marks on mine
use some sand paper to slightly sand it down to allow the gap to match
thanks for the tip
I'd try to get something to fit in the peg hole/ head to push on
thanks for the tip
I had no issues with my figure.
Thanks for the shoutout 👍
no worries brother
Hey chef did you ever live in the states
no, but i've been to the US several times
You’re probably better off using painter’s tape, to protect the plastic from scratches.
cool, thanks for the tip
the thumbnail had me scared
hahaha sorry man
Mine lucky came with tight joints
This is one that I have always on car mode. Looks incredible as a car…but as robot I hate the legs
yeah, but the leg fix kinda makes the bot mode ok
Tracks is going to be so pissed you marred his paint!
hahaha
Transformers WFC : tighten's return ^^
hahahaha ROFL
Never do what this guy is doing more than likely it will break or will get scratched or ruin the plastic. I'd use a small punch that fits the pin and tap it
The MechFansToys MS-25 Tracks, is way superior, better quality, and weighs more. Even though it's supposed to be Legends/Cyberverse size, it's closer to Deluxe size. At around $35 USD.
agree
cool bro, i missed out on him though...
i was thinking about getting him when i saw him at a hobby shop, but i was thinking i didn't need him since i already quit the Magic Square line...
when i tried coming back for him, he was gone...
I only see one complain at the hasbro website, come on people head out over there and leave a review on this. this is unacceptable
yeah, the kingdom figures have the most quality issues out of the entire trilogy
Estoy tratando de arreglar mi sideswipe de esta forma
cool, how did it go ?
@@chefatron i couldn't fix it 😕
@@danwarjes7218 sorry to hear that
Larkin lives in Hawaii
oh i didn't know that... my bad
In honolulu. He is American.
Hay q tener valor
hasbro do a 2.0 of this figure already
i know right?!
My leg
Next crush the head😜!
Kababayan!
ayos!
@@chefatron how hard is it to collect TF in the Philippines?
@@xxtabascoxx not that hard... what's difficult is looking for funds to buy the figures because out here, transformers are soooo expensive when they come out... they go on clearance after 12 to 14 months...
Not wasting money on this
that's cool man
Returned this piece of junk. Inexcusable
sorry to hear that man
@@chefatron not your fault brother. Most other figures are close to perfect! I only passed on Ironhide, Ratchet (for obvious reasons) and refunded Tracks.
As I can't risk damaging my figure I'm probably gonna buy the leg locks anyways. But good video, and Larkin is an awesome RUclipsr too
that's cool man, thanks so much! yeah he is definitely!
Ello
@@thatonequeergundamfan71 hello there!
@@chefatron hey chef how you doin
@@thatonequeergundamfan71 pretty good man, thanks for asking
